Kim (mom) & Bryce (16)
Figure Skating
Escondido, California
"Sometimes I get frustrated because I'm writing out large checks to these coaches and I feel like he's not progressing." - Mom
Bryce has been given his big chance, due somewhat to someone else's misfortune. He is headed to his first national competition as an alternate because one of the finalists broke his ankle. After a disappointing fall in the regional competition, resulting in a fifth place finish, Bryce is practicing more than ever and dealing with the weight of what's ahead. Meanwhile, mom has never been able to stand the pressure of competition or watch her son compete. She has, however, been able to pressure her son about the quality of his skating, despite the fact that she's never been a skater herself. Will mom's constant criticism cost Bryce a national title?
